Josephine M. Ross

Josephine M. Ross, 91, Dunmore, died Wednesday evening in Hospice Community Care in Dunmore. She was the widow of the late Joseph A. “Gigi” Ross who died July 26, 2008. They had been married for 65 years.

She was a dedicated, loving, and caring wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose smile lit up the room every time her family came to visit. Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought tremendous love and joy into her life. Her daily satisfaction was cooking and baking Italian delicacies for all her family throughout her life.

She was preceded in death by a great-granddaughter Faith Ross; sisters Maime Gennet, Bernetta Telesco, Mildred DelVecchio, Grace Demko Gross, and Christine Cox; and brothers Andrew, Sam and William Rinaldi.
